'He'll break the party': Boris Johnson faces losing Commons majority over no-deal Brexit threat

Phillip Lee says he and other pro-EU Tory MPs have ‘things to think about over the summer’, while former minister claims new PM will 'sign the party's death warrant' if he opts for no-deal Brexit

Boris Johnson has been warned that his governing majority could vanish overnight as more Conservative MPs consider defecting to other parties or sitting as independents. The Conservatives’ majority in the House of Commons was cut to just one after they lost the Brecon and Radnorshire seat to the Liberal Democrats in Thursday’s by-election.

Jo Swinson’s party overturned a majority of more than 8,000 to win the seat from Tory MP Chris Davies by a margin of 1,425. Mr Davies faced the by-election after a successful recall petition following his conviction for filing false expenses. The result means that Mr Johnson would be forced to lead a minority government if just one more Tory MP decided to defect to another party.

Several are thought to be considering leaving the Conservatives amid disillusionment and anger among pro-EU Tories at Mr Johnson’s Brexit stance. The chances of further defections have increased as ministers in the new government ramp up their threats to take Britain out of the EU without a deal.

Trump tells Boris Johnson ‘to drop tax on tech giants’ to secure US trade deal

Threat raises further doubts about wisdom of no-deal Brexit

The Trump administration has made it clear to Boris Johnson that any post-Brexit US-UK free trade deal would rely on Britain dropping plans to tax large American tech firms, according to reports. 

Last month, Donald Trump announced that he and the British prime minister had already discussed the projects of a free trade relationship, when he telephoned to congratulate him on winning his way to No 10. “We’re working already on a trade agreement,” Mr Trump told reporters. “And I think it’ll be a very substantial trade agreement, you know we can do with the UK, we can do three to four times, we were actually impeded by their relationship with the European Union.” 

Now it has been reported any special deal between the two countries would depend on Britain dropping the digital services tax, which was first announced by then chancellor Phillip Hammond in his October 2018 budget, and which is due to come into affect in April next year. 

So that’s hormone-filled beef, chlorinated chicken, the NHS and now taxes due in the UK all at the whim of the US. Brexit: taking back control!!!
